That is an awesome idea especially since all I have is my home key and car key. Tonight I will be free from the shackles of key rings! Long live the Triple Fisherman's Knot and 550 cord!

For awhile I did a figure eight with a double hitch on both sides. After having to undo it a couple times I now just do an overhand because it is easy. But knots are part of the fun. :)

I figured I would just cut it if/when I ever needed to add something (since all my other "keys" are electronic access cards). I actually have 3 things on my keyring, I forgot about my Maryland Homebrew store bottle opener that Paleocon got me.

You probably already know this but remember to melt the ends of the cord so you don't get the messy frayed ends. I recommend a lighter unless you have access to a hot knife.

I did know this, but it's a good thing to mention in case others that don't ever work with 550 cord were going to do this.

First, I'm embarrassed to admit that although I'm in my late thirties, I only really learned how to hand wash dishes properly about five or so years ago. I used to hold the dish or pot up out of the sink and scrub it in mid-air; not realizing that putting it down and thoroughly soaking it in soapy water was the way to go. When asked by my wife why I did this I had to think about it for a bit. Then I remembered that before I was married my sink was always piled high with dishes!

I just learned that not only are ducks remarkably well-hung (up to 15 cm in length!), once they've done their business with a female duck (who always fights the amorous advances, thereby making all ducklings little fuzzy rape babies), the previously mentioned massive organ shrivels up, dies, and falls off. That also doesn't take into account the female ducks who have the ability to violently contort and corkscrew their genitals.

I'd like you to tell me why we should know that, because I think I could have lived without that knowledge.

It certainly has made me look at ducks with more respect/horror.

I've read about that several times, but never tried it because alt-tab seemed sufficient. I was wrong.

I just tried these out on my computer here at work to see what you guys were talking about. I thought you were all looney, it didn't do anything. Then I tried having more than one program open.

Not sure why I didn't realize what it was, I use Command + TAB on the Mac all the time at home.

Or if you're like me and disable aero it genuinely doesn't do anything. Most people don't notice it but Aero slows down everything you do in windows ever. I tried leaving it on for a few months and it ever so slowly drove me crazy.

I actually do something similar along the underside of my desk. I've got some sticky wire hooks stuck to the bottom, with some bull clips hanging from them to keep assorted keyboard/mouse wires from dangling onto my feet. I could probably just use the wire hooks themselves, but the bull clips let me loop the cords and keep them secure.
